I mentioned this before in a previous post, but i feel it is important again to post this quote because today the House of Representatives, the house of Congress that is supposed to represent the people's interest decided to go on recess before dealing with America's energy crisis. The vote was close and was basically split on party lines. The tally was 213 in favor to adjourn for summer recess and 212 opposed. All Republicans voted against adjouring while 17 Democrats had the courage or maybe it was smart politics and were up for reelection to vote to not adjourn. This vote is a slap in the face of Americans who favor drilling and want America's energy crisis dealt with now. Once I will receive all the Democrats who voted not to save this country and get off foreign oil and continue to support the unfriendly regimes who they rail against everyday I will post them.
Senator Sessions of Alabama said it best during a debate when Majority Leader (Yea Right) Harry Reid said there was not enough time to debate the energy crisis he responded by saying:
Mr. President, I say to Senator Alexander, I have great affection for
the Democratic leader, but I just could not agree with his statement
that we do not have time. We have a whole month coming up for which we
are supposedly going home for recess. Our soldiers are working 7 days a
week, with 15-hour days. This Congress cannot stand to stay in session
a while and confront this issue and do some things we know will work?
Need I say anything more, but I wish there were more Senator Sessions out there speaking out for what is right and understanding that if the military can risk their lives day in and day out to spread democracy overseas, then I'm sure senators and representatives could cut back on their vacation and do what they were voted in office to do which is debate and debate and debate especially when this issue effects most every American.
